from Oannes *

…and a contribution to his tribute to songs and music of rebellious content, that said:

Happy Valentines!

Δικαίως το single τους με τις περισσότερες πωλήσεις, αυτό το τραγούδι είναι από το άλμπουμ The Resistance [2009]. Οπως λέει ο Bellamy: “…Εκφράζει μια γενική δυσπιστία προς τους τραπεζίτες, τις παγκόσμιες εταιρείες και τους πολιτικούς.” Θα μπορούσε κάλλιστα να είναι ο ύμνος των ημερών.

✻

Rightfully the band’s best selling single, this song is from their 2009 album, The Resistance. In Bellamy words: “…It expresses a general mistrust of bankers, global corporations, and politicians.” Could well be the anthem of the days.

❝ Paranoia is in bloom
The PR transmissions will resume
They’ll try to push drugs that keep us all dumbed down
And hope that we will never see the truth around
(So come on)
Another promise, another scene
Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed
And all the green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined
(So come on)
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
(So come on)
Interchanging mind control
Come, let the revolution take its toll
If you could flick the switch and open your third eye
You’d see that we should never be afraid to die
(So come on)
Rise up and take the power back
It’s time the fat cats had a heart attack
You know that their time’s coming to an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend
(So come on)
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
(So come on)
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
(So come on) ❞

Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
